Attention, everyone. The Christmas king has arrived!
You may have thought it was exciting when Santa Claus showed up at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but that’s only because you hadn’t yet witnessed a tiny Orange Kitten being pulled across the floor in a chariot by two Roomba vacuums like a true holiday miracle.
In this clip, the kitten sits calmly in a miniature Christmas chariot, looking completely unbothered and extremely regal while two robotic vacuums do all the work. There’s no fear. No confusion. Just a small Orange Cat accepting his destiny as the ruler of the season. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t panic. He simply allows himself to be transported, as if this is how things have always been. He also has two mouse sidekicks perched on the Roombas like little horses.
The video shared on the TikTok account for @robandmickey absolutely has me in the holiday spirit. People in the comments agree, and one person said, “That’s the parade I want to see!” Another person added, “Make way for the king of Christmas!”

As a cat mama of two orange boys, I can attest that Orange Kittens already have a reputation for being bold, curious, and deeply committed to nonsense, and this one is clearly living up to the hype. He looks like a tiny emperor surveying his kingdom, blissfully unaware that the internet is losing its mind over him.
Another comment replied, “Best parade entrance in history. No notes.”
As funny as this moment is, kittens and holiday decor don’t always mix easily. If you’re trying to keep your kitten away from the Christmas tree, distraction is key.
How To Keep Your Kitten Away From the Christmas Tree
One of the most important things kitty parents can do is provide plenty of toys, climbing options, and interactive play so the tree isn’t the most exciting thing in the room.
Tree anchors, unbreakable ornaments, and skipping tinsel can also help reduce temptation. And sometimes, the simplest solution is letting your kitten get used to the tree under supervision until the novelty wears off.
In this case, the little kitten didn’t target the tree; he aimed higher. A chariot. Pulled by robots. During Christmas.
And honestly? That feels exactly right. Some pets sit under the tree. Some climb it. And some rule the entire season from a Roomba-powered throne.
